In this episode, we look at the major categories of prepping and why balance matters. Preparedness is more than food, firearms, or gear. We discuss starting with the needs that apply to nearly every emergency, including water, food, finances, first aid, sanitation, shelter, lighting, power, communications, safety, and security.
We share some practical advice on avoiding debt, building emergency savings, storing shelf stable foods, purifying water, preparing get home bags, and developing useful skills.
We hope this helps new and experienced preppers identify weak spots, avoid tunnel vision, and build a more complete, realistic preparedness plan.
